Blaine Boosting His Boom.

1t is doubtful if there is much truth in the
story cabled TO the Boston Herald from
London that Mr.. Gladstone has been in
fuenced by Mr.. Blaine to visit this country
in the interest of the Irish cause. Mr..
Blaine doubtless would like to have the
credit of having persuaded the great Liberal
statesman to come to this country upon such
a mission, but it is hardly probable that he
is TO have that satisfaction. Mr.. Gladstone
is very old man, and much as he would
like to see success crown his present politi-
cal efforts he is not likely to take so long q
voyage in behalf of the Irish, or any other
cause Indeed, he stated very lately that he
has given up all expectation of visiting
America.
His presence would undoubtedly increase
the sympathy for Ireland in this country,
and help to raise contributions for the par
iamentary struggle in which Ireland is en-
gagged A speech from him in each of the
principal cities of the country would have
the effect of arousing Irelands friends to
make greater exertions for their cause. but
it is question whether it would DO wise for
him to undertake so long a journey and to
endure the fatigue which speech making
and receptions would impose upon him.
The danger of the voyage across the ocean
would not, of course, be worth considering.
but the strain of the entire visit might be
more than he could bear.
The story, however, looks like an effort to
give a boost to Mr. Blaine's political aspira-
tons As far rs he is concerned the next
best thing to getting Mr.. Gladstone to come
10 this country is 10 create the impression
that he tried 90 get him to come This sort
of an impression can hardly fail to increase
his popularity with IriSh-Americans
There is no doubt that Nh Blaine is very
shrewd politician. He improves every OPP
portuDity to advance his political fortunes,
and leaves as little as possible to chance.
He is already quite a favorite with many
lrishmen in this country, and he would
like 70 have the support of all of them.
He probably thinks that the Irish voters
hold the balance of power, and that with
their help he would stand a pretty fair
chance of being elected if he were n Presi
dental candidate again. He is making no
speeches in England and says he has no in
| tentton of making any, but if such stories
are cabled to this country as that in the Bos-
ton Herald they will do more TO improve
his Presidential prospects than he could do
by speech-making.

PARTICULAR BRIDEGRooMs.
Queer Questions Which Intervene Be-
fore the Knot Is Tied.
From the Manchester Courier.

From the Manchester Courier
A clergyman, the vicar of Fftsmoor, has been
speaking on the modes Of marriage in and near
Sheffield. He states that people are there mar
red in patches; that the bridegrooms almost in
variably get the rings too small, and have at
times TO lick tke lady's delicate little finger to
induce the stubborn ring 70 move on. 1t seems
TO be no uncommon thing to find that the ring
is the difficulty through IT'S presence or absence
Then, again. says the vicar when they
come to that important part of the marriage
service where the minister asks the man if he
will have this woman TO be his welded wife, the
man will not unfrequently turn to the woman
and say: Wilt tha' black my boots?" aud the
woman will invariably say: 1 WILL and the
man then rejoins: Now, tina st said it, and he
holds her to her word Such are Yorkshire
manners"
A reverend canon of the church relates that
on one occasion it fell to his lot to marry his
fOotman to his cook. The footman would per
sist throughout the service in putting his finger
to his forehead every time his master addressed
him, in accordance with custom. The reverend
gentleman demonstrated in an undertone
Don't touch your forehead. John. but say the
words after me" Then aloud: ''Wilt thou take
this woman" etc John. bearing in mind the
vicar's hint, replied, After you sir" and the
assembled friends burst into laughter.

Sleep.
Oh! sleeps fair little maid.
With a step that is soft and light,
And she waiteth on all the world
At the wonderful banquet Of life.

Oh! sleep Is a fair little maid.
With a step that is soft and light
And she waiteth on all the world
At the wonderful banquet of life.
'Tis oblivion wine" she bears
Fresh from the winepress of night,
Which she pours into empty cups
From her mystical tankard bright
She passes a rollicking crowd
And offers her soothing draught;
Their life is too Joyous for sleep,
SO theyrbid her BECOME" with laugh,
But sooner or late she is hailed,
For oblivion wine" they plead,
Alas their cups are SO full of sin
She can give them but half they need.
Then gladly she goes to a weary child
And touches the wine to his lips:
He smiles up into her dreamy face
His blue eyes close while be sins.
SO on and on through the motley throag
Hoves the heaven sent little maid;
There, giving an old man rest from care;
Here hushing the moan Of a babe.
But drop can she give 10 the druukard,
Though he holds out bis reeking cup.
While the tear stained cup Of q woman
She pitifully filleth up.
All Sleep is loved little maid,
For she stileth the noise and strife
AS she waits on the restless world
At the wearying banquet of life.

Sometimes an advocate of tariff robbery be-

IN strong contrast with the nature Of his cause.
For example, one of them says: The free
traders cannot get away from the fact that all
imported articles are vastly cheaper than when
there was no tariff " Now. If his courage had
been equal to his willingness to deceive he would
have boldly said that the tariff has done more

The Interstate Commission.

The railroads appear to be adjusting
themselves to the interstate commerce law.
Just how much friction there is i'm the work
ings of the law it is, of course, impossible to
say, since there does not appear to be much
disposition on the part of the poads to dis
cuSs it at present. 1t may be that they are
trying sincerely to find out Just what there
is in it that is Objectionable and what that
is satisfactory, with the view of asking for
some notifications of it as soon as Congress
meets
As yet there are no noteworthy indica-
tions of disposition to demand its repeal.
Indeed, there is every reason to think that
it has come to stay. That it will he changed
in some important particulars is very prob
able. BY both the people and the railroads
it is still looked upon as an expert
ment, but as an experiment that
will ultimately prove to be successful.
With reference to it Senator Henderson
said the other day that it was probable that
the commission would be enlarged, or that
several sub-commiSsions would be
created. He thinks that the com
mission has too much to do to be of
much practical benefit. 1t may be that the
commission is overburdened now, but it is
impossible to tell as yet how great its bur-
dens will be in the near future Thus far it
has had more work thrust upon it than it
could attend to, but when it gets wholly rid
of the questions relating to the proper con-
struction to be placed upon the different pro
visions of the law it may not find its duties
greater than it can attend to. However,
that can be determined only by time. When
Congress meets there will no doubt be a
very thorough inquiry respecting the work
ings of the law, and the ability of the COM
mission to respond to all demands upon it
